    He is a beta.

    We have enough alphas like Corey Brewer and Sam Dekker. He will likely be 5th option at the Rockets.

    When you keep getting upstaged by darkhorse stars, at some point you have to stop blaming the team and take a good look at how realistic your self-image is. Aldridge is a great second fiddle -- play good defense, hit the boards, be the focal point of the offense of the second unit.

    Exactly.

    "Journalists" otherwise known as Bloggers these days are at an all time low when it comes to providing their reader with any substance. Here are the Red Flags I look for whenever I read any article and in sports journalism, the worst of them all, I usually see these words within the first two sentences and immediately know to stop reading and wasting my time.

    1. "Should" - Writer is literally asking me for my opinion on a hypothetical situation that is more than likely something they just made up but failed to put that in the title which was very misleading. Click-Bait.

    2. "Could" - Writer is proposing another hypothetical situation that of course COULD happen, this is earth and nearly anything you can think of within reason COULD happen. Ex: Lamarcus Aldridge traded for future picks or LeBron not signing with the Cavs again and any one of an infinite number of scenarios that in reality have a. 001% of ever happening but HEY! It COULD happen right?? Click-Bait.

    3. "Would" - Again, the writer is asking me directly my own opinion as if I could give him a F#cking response and again to a hypothetical situation that could have the outcome argued in a myriad of ways all being right or wrong because no one actually knows since we are not psychic. Click-Bait.

    4. "Is it.....?" Here we go again, more hypothetical debate articles that prompt the reader for their response as though they are in some open forum but again, just a one way opinion piece about what may or may not happen based on "information from sources" that are rarely revealed. Click-Bait.

    Sigh. I hate "sports journalists".

    Hey Buford & Pop, you guys could work wonders with Ariza, Brewer, and Bev for the declining, disgruntled LMA.
